Chapter 63: So You Really Are That Unlucky
Clearly, the person speaking was very jealous.
Even Chen Zhi, who was watching from afar, felt that what the other party said made a lot of sense.
Fred looked exceptionally naive, as if his previous business dealings had relied entirely on luck.
Feng Buxi, meanwhile, kept observing the surroundings; since this person could transmit their voice so clearly, they couldn't be too far away.
Moreover, being able to make them keep walking in circles in the same place meant it was likely an Illusion.
It was possible that they had already followed the other party's guidance to a deserted area.
"I see them, over here!" A hurried voice rang out, and it was a familiar language; Feng Buxi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Sometimes, to deal with such Transcendental Power, one must use unconventional methods.
Notifying the players offline was indeed useful; he had known someone would target a carefree person like Fred.
Hearing the players' voices, the entire scene seemed to shatter, and the original space transformed into another appearance; the person who created the illusory environment was startled and immediately prepared to flee.
This person looked short in stature, relatively small, wore a dome hat, and was unremarkable in appearance.
He had no weapons in his hands, but his eyes looked exceptionally sharp.
They must have seen this man's eyes while walking on the road.
This was what Feng Buxi recalled.
"Let You Have Bad Luck!" Seeing the other party turn around, Feng Buxi hurriedly used this Charm; he did not take out the dagger he carried, mainly because he did not want to hurt the person in front of him.
Clearly, the person opposite intended to continue using their abilities; after running a few steps, he began to change his body, attempting to confuse those around him.
But the effect was very poor.
With a flash and a puff of white smoke, he merely changed from a human form into a rat walking on the ground, but his head did not change at all.
Before he could run away, a group of players surrounded him and bundled him up with their hands and feet.
When they actually touched him, they discovered that this person was not in the form of a rat; everything was an illusion.
He was still a complete human, just having a slight visual effect on people, and he wasn't even as fast as the rat he displayed while running.
So much so that the players originally thought they were stepping on empty ground, but in reality, it was his body.
Following the wailing sound, the players realized they had stepped on a person, and so this person quickly returned to his original appearance.
He had thought he was dealing with three people, one of whom was a fool.
He hadn't expected to be dealing with a group of people...
"It's fortunate that this is near the Factory District, not far from the bar area." Fred sighed with emotion, "Alright, let's escort this guy to..."
Fred was at a loss for words for a long time; in the end, he couldn't think of where this guy should be sent.
He could only let those hired thugs drag the person away.
Feng Buxi gave Fred a look, seemingly telling him it was fine.
The players were overjoyed; this was the first Awakened human they had captured themselves.
But they really didn't know where to escort him.
If they sent him to the Wealth Church, the church people would give a generous reward, but it would also expose the fact that they had been to the Times Newspaper; such a gathering of transcendents was not something the players wanted to give up easily.
Unlike Susan, this person looked like a heinous criminal at first glance, so sending him to the Lord of Calamity seemed like a good idea.
Soon, Chen Zhi harvested the second Awakened he had encountered; these players were doing well, at least they knew whose Believer they were and knew who to send the captured Awakened to.
Although they had discussed it for a long time, for Chen Zhi, being able to have him sent over was quite good.
Chen Zhi's mission reward was also very blunt; he directly gave each of these players a Calamity Talisman.
He could make these things himself, and he hadn't expected them to be so effective, so he had to give some out to the players.
As long as one exerted some influence on the other party's luck, one could make this person have such bad luck that they would even mess up their most basic skills; this feeling was indeed good.
Although it wasn't a monetary reward, all the players involved in this operation could obtain such a Charm, which was even more important to them than a monetary reward.
If it weren't for the fact that this was a closed beta version and the data would be wiped, the players would have loved to frame it and seal it away forever.
Chen Zhi couldn't be bothered with these players; this Awakened was kneeling before Chen Zhi, trembling. If he had known he was going to face an Evil God, he would never have gone to rob that guy who looked like a fool, even if it killed him.
"What is your Awakened profession, and which deity do you worship?" Chen Zhi's voice echoed within the Sewers.
The short, fat man sitting on the ground stammered, "The profession I awakened is Illusionist, and I worship the Beauty God..."
The Beauty God?
The one who is the rival of the Sun God?
I didn't expect such an ugly guy to worship the Beauty God...
In Tana City, there weren't many people who worshipped this deity; the Beauty God's main followers were concentrated in Teliya in the south, which was a country within a country and also a religious state.
Chen Zhi didn't know much about this.
It seemed that when he had time, he still needed to read more books, at least to understand the surrounding countries and their religious situations.
"Tana City has many followers of the Sun God Cult, but followers of the Beauty God are rare." Chen Zhi said indifferently, "How does one awaken to become an Illusionist?"
"I only know that it requires a complete Mandala Root, a complete Golden Toad, plus a feather from a seven-colored parrot. I'm not very clear on the other auxiliary materials; I was forced to drink a Magic Potion, I didn't awaken voluntarily." The speaker sounded a bit aggrieved, "If it were a goddess's Awakened, they should awaken as a Performer."
A Performer?
That is also an awakened profession?
Susan, who was on the side, whispered a reminder, "The Performer he mentioned should be an entertainer; it is said that even the ugliest person will turn into a handsome man or a beautiful woman after awakening."
Susan had come into contact with Performers; those Performers were born to be the focus of the crowd, so at first, she even thought Emily was a Performer.
Later, she realized that she was just an ordinary person, only with a very gorgeous appearance.
"Yes, that's right. I also wanted to look better; I didn't want to be like those old bachelors in the Sun God Cult, but I can never awaken as a Performer again."
It was clear that this made him very disappointed.
"After awakening, one cannot change their awakening path?" Chen Zhi asked.
"Yes." The short, fat man being questioned truly couldn't understand: how could such an Evil God not even know this kind of question?
But how could this be blamed on Chen Zhi?
One had to know that Susan didn't know either; even if the Mysticism knowledge of the two of them were added together, it couldn't possibly be much more than that of the short, stout man before them.
"Then you really are unlucky enough," Chen Zhi could only drop such a remark that made this man feel even worse.
